TEXT OF SPEECH



Hi my name is Lylah. I am a freshman at Foothill Technology High School and I hate talking in front of big groups of people, good thing I’m too dark to tell when if red. I am really shy but once I get to know you I will talk your ear off. I’m tiny and a lot of people ask if i'm in middle school which gets annoying and I have a nickname that has stuck with me since elementary which is an Oompaloompa. Anyways I’m supposed to tell you about my goals and stuff so here they are.

Lylah's Goals For Freshman Year

I have several goals I would like to achieve during high school to give me the future I have strived for since I was young. I would like to get straight As a good amount of times because I know I am capable of achieving this goal. I would also like to try my best while attending foothill and not slacking such as not turning homework on time or procrastination. I want to end my habit of procrastinating because I believe it's the worst habit anyone can have and I have adapted to it. My last academic goal I will try my hardest to achieve is to having above a gpa of 4.0 senior year so I qualify into UCLA so I have the opportunity to become a pediatrician which is my job that I have wanted to be for a consistent 9 years.

Almost all of my friends that I had throughout middle school did’nt got foothill which is a struggle for me. Although those friends aren't with me I want to not be so shy and try and talk to new people and become more outgoing.A Lot of the student here are so kind and welcoming and I need to break out of my shell and mingle with new people. I also want to keep in touch with with my friends that are at other school.
There isn't really any fighting in between my family and a majority of the time we all get along smoothly but if there ever is an argument or I get in trouble I want to work on not talking back. I also want to hang out with my family more than I do because I end up hanging out with friends more than my family.
I love sports and I always have since I was little. I have wanted to play volleyball since I was little and my goal is to try out even if I dont think im going to get in.I have played about 4 sports throughout my years and I loved each and every one of them and by staying in a sport it will keep me healthy as well, not only physically but mentally. Sports have taught me how to show respect to others.
These are my goals I would like to achieve by my senior year and beyond and hopefully I do. This school will push me and give me opportunities to achieve these goals which is why I came here.
